OK, I have to join the lemmings this time. Kuff seems to be getting the cred, but let's not forget that we are playing by Pete's rules.
Now, there had been no doubt in my mind which movie belonged at the top of the list. Mission Impossible - I saw this twice. The second time because I wasn't certain it was thoroughly awful. I had a nagging suspicion that there was, in fact, one clever subtle bit. So when it came to the dollar movie four blocks from my apartment, I gave it another try. Nope - that suspicion was completely unwarranted.
But I had forgotten that I did, in fact, sit through all 85 minutes of Leonard Part 6. Wow, 1755 votes on IMDB. Looking at that list - I'm sorry, I simply cannot fathom that Gigli is that bad - that vote is clearly being colored by JLo-Aflack blow back.
After that, it gets hard. I'd love to put Phantom Menace on the list, but it doesn't qualify by the rules - it's total value is awful on a galactic scale, but the effects themselves were a positive (this measure does not include the choice of how the effects were used, of course). Godfather III is in much the same category.
The Musketeer, Cutthroat Island, Lost in Space - the fail on the hate problem. Uniformly without merit, but not worth the emotional investment of hate. Let's face it - if you have to dig through IMDB to find it (Ooh! Staying Alive) you just don't hate it enough.
The Shadow. Oh, I wish I had not reminded myself of that one.
